Mikel Arteta told to sign Seria A star as Arsenal replacement for Gabriel Jesus

As Gabriel Jesus’ serious knee injury leaves ARSENAL light in attack, Ally McCoist reckons they should be looking at former Chelsea striker Tammy Abraham to cover the injury that the Brazilian star has picked up.

Jesus suffered an ACL injury in the FA Cup clash with Manchester United on Sunday, which will keep him out for the rest of the season and pretty much force Arsenal to delve into that transfer kitty to add a new striker to the attack.

Arsenal needed a striker even before the latest injuries to Jesus and Bukayo Saka, and that has led to all sorts of specculation about who Mikel Arteta will manage to bring to the Emirates at this stage of the season.

But McCoist reckons Abraham would be a good choice. England international Abraham is on a season-long loan at AC Milan from Roma, where he has scored six goals in 22 appearances across all competitions.

‘Seemingly it’s taken an injury to Gabriel Jesus to push them over the line in going to get a centre-forward. Which is something that should have happened a long time ago,’ the Scot told talkSPORT.

‘Who do they get? The thing is now, the selling club know that they’re desperate. Absolutely desperate. £20m becomes £30m, £40m becomes £50m and they’ve only got themselves to blame for that situation.

‘One that’s going under the radar a little bit…Tammy Abraham.

‘They just need somebody that can effectively stand in the six-yard box and score goals. That’s what they need.

‘You look at the plentiful chances they create and if you’re a centre-forward and a goal-scorer you’d fancy yourself in that team, you’d fancy yourself for 20-25 goals a season.”

ARSENAL need a new striker, Kai Havertz is not good enough to lead that Gunners attack and  Arteta knows that he will need to spend if the club are to take the lead of the Premier League from Liverpool.

There will be alot of rumours in the coming weeks, it will be interesting to see who arrives at the Emirates.
